However, the Eastern Cape-born leader expressed concern about the sincerity of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).

Holomisa said the governing party has a mandate to stand up for the promises it made to the nation. He said some of the leaders have honoured their promises.

Bahumi and Zinhle were MCs during the service.

"Some of us have stood up for the fight against corruption. That's the reason I accepted the invitation to run for premier in the Eastern Cape to clean up that province," he said.
